Hyper Light Breaker: Farming Golden Rations – A Guide to the Rarest Resource
Hyper Light Breaker features several resources, with Golden Rations being the most elusive and crucial for significant upgrades. This guide clarifies their acquisition.
Where to Find Golden Rations
Golden Rations are primarily obtained through two methods in the early access version:
-
Chest Exploration: Throughout your runs, explore the map for chest icons. These often contain resources, and some chests, indicated by a Golden Ration icon above them, will yield this valuable resource. Areas containing Prisms (golden diamond icons) frequently have nearby Golden Ration chests.
-
Cycle Resets: Each Overgrowth instance constitutes a cycle, resetting when your revives (Rez count) deplete. After a cycle reset at the Cursed Outpost, you receive a score. Achieving a high enough rank grants Golden Rations as a reward.
What are Golden Rations Used For?
Golden Rations are essential for progression in Hyper Light Breaker:
-
Home Base Upgrades: Spend them on permanent character upgrades and new vendor services at your base.
-
Sycom Unlocks: Unlock Sycoms, which define your Breaker's stats and passive abilities, significantly impacting playstyle.
Prioritize Upgrades
Upon obtaining your first Golden Ration, prioritize purchasing the extra medkit upgrade from Pherus Bit. This significantly aids survivability, mitigating the game's harsh penalty for combat errors. Remember, resources are retained upon death, but equipped weapons, amps, and perks sustain damage.
